Four Contrasting Viewpoints In The Sound And The Fury
.... seventh, nineteen-hundred-and-twenty-eight…or is it? Benjamin, formerly Maury, presents a disjointed account of his life between his early childhood just around the turn of the century and up until 1910, mainly focusing on his relationship with his sister, Candace. His sense of time is nonexistent: he confuses the past with the present. He is literal: he has no knowledge of connotation. His descriptions are that of a small child and represent the world as it might seem to a person who has been cut off from all things civilized. One of Benjy’s most vivid memories is drunkenness: “…I ran into the box. But when I tried to c .....
